“Simplicity is the easiest path to true beauty,” says Seishuu Handa, the male protagonist of the anime Barakamon. It is with this simplicity in mind, that the Chennai Anime Club came to exist back in 2018.
A message on Facebook from Suresh Kasipandy, the founder of Chennai Anime Club (CAC) in 2018, sparked a meeting between six people with a shared interest for anime and art, subsequently leading to the establishment of the club by four core members. .
‘Anime’ can be defined as a style of Japanese film and television animation, typically aimed at adults as well as children. A common line that is used to describe anime is that “all anime shows are cartoons, but not all cartoons are anime,” owing to the unique style of animation used for such shows and movies.
